Seminars, study days, product launches, weddings and private receptions can be held at the Domaine de Carnavan, which states that it welcomes groups of more than 350 guests. The estate has a reception hall, terraces, landscaped outdoor areas, a pool house and 14 double bedrooms. It lies at Saint-Pierre-lès-Aubagne, in Aubagne, in the Bouches-du-Rhône, about 20 minutes from Marseille, on 10 hectares of vines, olive trees and lavender.
Seminars and company events
The estate sells seminars, study days, product launches and tailor-made business events. Its spaces can be set up to suit each program, and a working day can mix meetings, wine tastings, team building and free time outdoors. A technical partner supplies sound, lighting, video and streaming, and builds stage sets for company events. The estate also organizes end-of-year staff dinners and Christmas events for companies.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a core activity. The estate hosts the ceremony, the drinks reception, the dinner and the brunch the next day, each in its own area. A single contact follows the event from start to finish. The team connects couples with partner photographers and decorators. Sound, microphones and a projector are available for speeches and slideshows, and the terrace can be fitted with lights and speakers for the evening. An area with beds and activities is planned for children. One- and two-day formats including accommodation and furniture are offered.
Rooms and capacities
The estate lists a reception hall, terraces, landscaped outdoor spaces and a pool house used for brunches and cocktails. It gives 350 as its guest figure but does not publish a capacity per space or a seated figure, so confirm the layout with the team. The outdoor areas host large summer receptions; in winter, the estate suggests smaller, more private events.
Accommodation
There are 14 double bedrooms on site, recently renovated. They look out over the estate's vines and the Garlaban massif. They can house the wedding couple and family, or speakers and managers during a seminar. Other guests can stay in hotels in the area; the estate mentions lodging on site or nearby.
Catering
The estate works with a list of about ten partner caterers. They include Aumer Traiteur, Fleur de Sel, KS Traiteur, Marrou Traiteur, Roland Paix, Catering My Bell, La Truffe Noire, Le Pâturage Aixois and New Day Événement, which offers halal catering. Formats range from cocktail dinners and seated meals to buffets and brunches. The estate's own wines can be served.
History and setting
The estate says it has more than two centuries of history. Its vineyard is farmed in the Provençal tradition, and the estate produces its own wines; the 2026 harvest was the first in a new vat. The 10 hectares of vines, olive trees and lavender lie between the Sainte-Baume and the Garlaban, two landmarks of the Marseille hinterland.
Getting there
The Domaine de Carnavan is at 500 Chemin de Carnavan, Saint-Pierre-lès-Aubagne, in Aubagne. The estate places itself about 20 minutes from Marseille and highlights easy road access.
